Delhi HC Issues Notice On Shashi Tharoor's Plea To Preserve Sunanda Pushkar's Twitter Account & Tweets
Live LawThe Delhi High Court on Monday issued notice to the Delhi Police in an petition filed by MP and senior Congress leader Dr. Shashi Tharoor, seeking for directions to the Investigating Officer to write a letter to Twitter for securing and preserving the inactive Twitter account of his late wife Sunanda Pushkar. Justice Manoj Ohri of the Delhi High Court heard the Application which states that the inactive Twitter account of late Sunanda Pushkar Tharoor is extremely relevant to the criminal trial which is pending against Dr. Tharoor for allegations of abetment of suicide of Pushkar. Pahwa argued that Pushkar never had any suicidal ideations, which could be manifested from the series of tweets that have been withheld by the Delhi Police from the Trial Court. Previously, in February 2020, Justice Ohri had issued notice to the Delhi Government and had directed for a status report to be filed on a petition by Dr. Tharoor, who had moved the High Court against a 30th January Order rendered by a trial court which had dismissed Dr. Tharoor's plea for directions to the police for the production of certain tweets of Pushkar.
